E (2nd fret D string) and let ring. The song's ended there!

VERSE
When summer falls asleep
And winter plucks your strings
The colder that you get
Makes you feel at home
CHORUS
Build it up (Throw it away) x16
VERSE
If I come round there now
Would you be pleased to see me
I wouldn't make much noise
Just whimper to myself
CHORUS

My head hurts more each time
The drinking strangles me
Believe in God, like hell
Believe in hell, by God
CHORUS
Build it up (Throw it away) x16

Thankyou. Yeah, though I realise now as it's literally two riffs I should have probably just said "Play at: 0:24" or whatever. Oh well :), it's the same format as all my tabs so I didn't want to change.
